The measuring pocket of the-ordinary dough divider receives dough forced into it by a ram, there being a piston in the meas-ur-l ing pocket which recedes-from the intake end of the pocket as the dough is pushed in. The
A predetermined'volume of dough having been pushed and pressed into the measuring pocket, the dough mass is sheared off at the intake, leaving in the pocket an'exactly measured volume. It is desirable, however, not
'only to secure accurate Volum'elbut also as sequently accurate weight.
nearly as possible uniform density and con- Gas pocketj, resulting from fermentation induced by proofing,- are sometimes formed within the dough mass, and if the individual gas pockets happen to be irregularin' size and unevenly distributed successive measured volumes of dough will in consequence differ pressure normally prevents gas liberation.
' My invention is characterized Icy-provision for automatically. venting all parts of the dough piece while being forced into the measuring pocket. The larger pockets of gas are adequately vented and uniform dough-piece Weights are maintained within commercial limits.

With the ,foreooing and certain other Objects in View, which will appear later in the s ecification, my invention, comprises the devices described and claimed and theequivalents thereof.

pocket 1 by a ram 4, that being the usual chines" v lhe chamber 3 and hopper 4 are stationary, and #31116 measuring pocket 1 when filled can be slid pon the end face 3 of chamber 3 to auto- -matically shear Oflf the measured dough piece contained in the pocket. It will, therefore,
be understood that suitable provision is made,
as is usual in doughdi'viders, for shearing off the .dough piece after it has been rammed'into the measuring pocket.
Piston 2 recedes as dough is forced against it by ram 4 and when it comes to the end'o f' its travel an'exact volume of dough is in the cylinder ready to be sheared ofi.
The receding face of the piston is preferably provided with a face-plate 5- -forme.d with scraping edgesG that automatically remove particles of dough from the 'walls of.
the pocket. :Piston 2 is skeletal,; having longitudinal openings 6 in its two sides. Across the back end of the pocket is a plate 7 with lateral extensions 8 projecting'through the openings 6 ofthe piston. The extensions are inset in the rear ends of the side walls of pocket 1. The horizontal openings 6 permit the piston to slide back and forth in the pocket without encountering the extensions 8 of plate 7 A number of piercing imple ments, preferably longitudinally extending rods 9, or tubes or bars of any suitable cross sectional shape are secured to'plate 7. They are spaced apart, for example/as shown in Fig. 3-, where several of them are distributed more or less uniformly over the cross :sec-
tional area of the pocket. The free ends of the rods 9 extend through holes 10 in the faceplate 5 slightly larger than the rods. -While the face-plate 5 moves back with the dough the piercing rods 9 impale the mass throughout its length. I The pressure within any cavity that happens to be pierced drives the en trapped gas along the rod and vents it through the holes 10 in the face-plate 5 around the rods 9, as indicated by the arrow in Fig. 1.
The inner wall areas of pocket 1 and. the face of plate 5 are lubricated through channels l in the usual way, and the piercing rods 9 are lubricated by the wiping action of the apertured plate 5 as it travels back and forth along the rods.
In practical operation while the dough mass is being forced intothe cylinder there is a very pronounced escape of gas through the holes 10 around the rods, probably due to the fact that while the mass of dough is entering the pocket there is greater internal pressure in that part of the mass nearest ram 4 than there is in the part nearest plate 5, because while the ram is driving the dough into the pocket the receding plate 5 is relieving pressure at that end of the mass, instead of augmenting it as ram 4* is doing. While the dough is'being forced into the pocket in this manner it possesses somewhat the characteristics of afluid inmotion within a pipe. Hence with such a difference of internal pressure within the mass it can be easily vented from end to end by piercing length-Y tudinally extending rods therein, a retract able piston, its face formed with holes receiving said rods and constituting vent passages contiguous thereto, and means adapted to produce relative longitudinal movement of said piston and rods whereby said rods are caused to increasingly protrude beyond the face of said iston as the latter retracts, and means for lu ricating said rods, for the purposes set forth.
3. In a dough-measuring pocket, longitudinally extending rods, fixed therein near anend thereof, and a retractable piston havmg aface formed with holes slidingly receivmg said rods and also constituting vent passages through'the'piston, contiguous to the rods, and devices adaptedto supply lubricant to said rods, for the purposes set forth.
4. In combination with the open ended measuring cylinder and movable piston and ram of a dough dividing machine, a plurality of piercing implements.associated with said cylinder and adapted to pierce a mass of dough therein, th'ereby venting gas therefrom, While said dough is being forced into the cylinder by said ram.
In testimony whereof, I affix my signature.
